Objective - Consolidate within one report the operational Constraints and Considerations for launch site testing of the present Shuttle Avionics systems.

  • Constraint - Testing that requires special vehicle configurations and ground support equipment configurations.
  • Consideration - Testing configurations that have driven special infrastructure/ resource requirements, or have high failure rates.

Purpose - To provide to the designers of future avionics systems the information required to possibly design out these concerns.
